Plays, Knitting & Babies.....Oh My!

One of the major highlights of the San Diego trip was the opportunity to see the videos of 2 plays that Poolie wrote and directed.  They were amazing fun!

One of them was The Wizard of Ahhhhs

 This one was SO funny and had some amazing characters with exceptional people playing the parts!

The other one was Peter Pan

 Another excellent production and had many of the same cast members.  I loved that I could finally see these plays.  The results of something that my dear friend is so passionate about and that clearly shows how very talented she is at creating and pulling together such a magnificent project, just warmed my heart.  I am so proud of her and wish she could pursue this passion of hers more fully.

As for me, my current form  of production is knitting.  My most recent project is a baby blanket for Jin (the gal that works for Chuck).  The baby's due date is April 25th and for what reason I am not sure, the doctor was going to induce her.  Since I leave for Alaska on April 20th, she asked the Dr to induce her on the 18th so that she would have the baby before I leave.  Well........ Murphy decided to 'work' on the baby blanket whilst I was in San Diego.  I had it in a project tote and I really thought it was 'kitty proof', but I was wrong.  She managed to get my 32" circular needles pulled out of this blanket (that was 3/4 finished, btw); she chewed the cable, extensively, ruining a $25 set of needles, AND she chewed on the yarn!  Both on a ball of yarn and also on the edges of the blanket itself.  So on Saturday, I ripped it all out and started over. Of course I was thinking that I had almost a month and that if I worked really hard and put a lot of time in it, I could finish it before little Lilly is born!  Well, yesterday Jin was spotting and having a lot of mucus discharge, along with much pressure.  She saw the Dr and he said she was still well "intact" and to take it easy yesterday and it was okay to return to work today.  Apparently Lilly has other ideas.  Jin called Chuck this AM and told us that she is having contractions, which as we all know, may or may not amount to anything.  Regardless.....I have a feeling that Lilly will be here before her blanket is ready!  I also have a feeling that I need a lock box for my knitting!
